Su Yuanyuan stayed at home all day and didn't go out. On her birthday, she felt she should celebrate a little.
She didn't believe in that thing about women's numerology affecting three families, but since nobody around her was educated, and had such beliefs, she couldn't change their minds, so she also avoided going out on this day.
She prepared herself a sumptuous lunch with fish, meat, drinks, and rice. Although there was no birthday cake, she could use any other cake as a substitute; the thought was what counted.
Honestly, being alone was really quite lonely, but given her situation, she couldn't have friends. Others avoided her as much as possible.
Two days later, Su Yuanyuan used the evening to go to the reservoir. She was bored anyway, having taken a nap during the day, and was full of energy. She also didn't want to run into people during the day, and this was more convenient for her plans.
